Here's a few: Paul Horn Bill Evans Randy Weston Each in different ways. . . .

Mike: Yes.

I really don't know how to describe these. I will say that if you love "Lift Every Voice" (either Max's or Andrew's!) you're likely to like these. If you like Sun Ra of the late sixties, you are likely to like this. Even so it's hard to describe these, they're unique in a way, but I really like them. . . .

Ramee, Welcome!

There's no doubt in my mind that this is a set that a Miles fan would really love. The sound is excellent for live recordings, mono but excellent. Both Stitt and Trane play very well and I really enjoy all four discs. . . .

And replace that 1971 Miles head with something else!

Actually, I have a big big problem writing about music. I can write about the emotional response it invokes in me (and to a less certain extent a few others.) I can talk about a historical aspect of the music, a fact or three about the musicians or the studio or the chart number or the dedicatee or the inspiration. I can talk about a few notes and chords and some influences and my PERSONAL LIKES. But I really have a hard time writing about music, really a hard time at the core. . . .

Wow, cool photo Ed K Ell. . . you can almost hear the swingin'!

They're all cool. . . beter suited than what we'll get I guess!

Yeah, The Rajah or Caramba! would get my support. (Who am I kidding? I'll buy whichever one is next!)

Count me in! I have the Mosaic, I have the first JSP box, the Blue Note cd, I have I think all the Jazz in Paris cds, I have the RCA two cd "Jazz Heritage", I have some earlier cds I have bought. . .there is a little duplication in my holdings but I don't care. I also have him appearing with the Duke Ellington Orchestra in Chicago and it is one of my favorites! The swing, the ideas, the sound. . .one of the very best players ever.

Thanks for the info Greg. I don't have Planet Waves on cd at all; I have a very best vinyl that wouldn't be any good for transferring.. .. .. .. I really like that one. I have pretty decent viyl of the others that I might want.

Yeah, I just looked up the box set, saw it was in there, and then looked up the individual hybrid. Cool. I hadn't seen it listed earlier before. Thanks.

Hey, maybe Joe was really Kevin Bresnahan!

I wish Planet Waves had been on the list. . .that is the one Dylan cd I really want to have. I'll wait a little longer and see if it is in a near future batch.

Bargain priced GEMS!

I've seen it attributed to Laurie Anderson (as "writing about MUSIC"), which I can believe.

It IS hard to imagine Blue Note AFFORDING Miles in that time frame!

Yeah, up over and out. It is a sobering thing. In fact I have some recordings by favorite artists on a list and just haven't bought them. . . because I don't want yet to come to the end of their discography. It's like reading bios and getting to the final chapters. If I ever write one (my father has written four and has encouraged me to) I'm going to START with the final years, the funeral and the eulogies, and move from there to the life and finish at an important climax. . . . I've read recently about three bios in a row and I swear they have me depressed!

I'll bet they weren't "Caramba! The gigolo is going off in search of a new land!"

Texas Toast are very thick slices of Toast grilled and buttered. Only in Texas!

That looks more Melle-ian than Reidsian to me!

I thought of Nosnol. . . . my full first name reversed. I though of "Willis" as in LESTER Willis. . . . Decided thought that "I've gotta be me". . . jazzbo!

Probably no real reason. . . . The music will all be on your set as far as I can tell. Might sound a smidgeon better here, and some would like to have the old lp lineup (plus more) for sentimental reasons . . . "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You"
